Speaking at the Kids Choice Awards, Rodriguez told Digital Spy that he would love Maguire to have a cameo.

"I'm a big, big Spider-Man fan," he explained. "So it would be awesome to work with him."

Rodriguez also revealed that he isn't sure what will happen in the rest of the season, saying: "You never know what you can believe on Modern Family, or what's going to come up. But you can expect a lot more craziness, family issues for everybody, lots of cool stuff like that."

"I'm really excited about getting another series," he said. "I want to know what happens to Manny, what he's going to go through and what he has coming up, but I genuinely don't know.

"It's so awesome. I just think Modern Family is the best show in the world and I love working on it. I can't wait to spend time with the rest of the cast because they are all so great to hang out with."

The Nick KCAs aired at the weekend in the US and will be broadcast in the UK on Friday at 5pm only on Nickelodeon and nick.co.uk.
